Shelter Me

Ever since I can remember
I always tried to do what's right
"Just keep your chin up, boy", they said
Don't you ever try to back down
You gotta fight to get what's yours
But sometimes the fight just ain't there

(chorus)
Shelter me, I am one who needs another
I'm a book without a cover, cover me
Shelter me, like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother's vigil keeping, shelter me

Out on a distant lonely highway
So many miles from anywhere
I'm gonna lay my troubles down
And I never will return there
I don't need to look back now
Gotta find where love lies somehow

(repeat chorus)

Hold out my hand, I reach for you
I see your light
I lay my body down
And you rush over me, rush over me

(repeat chorus)
